TMZ Sports reported on July 25th that the 18-year-old athlete experienced a medical emergency during a workout at the University of Southern California on the previous day, July 24th. “Medical staff was able to treat Bronny and take him to the hospital.

Will have more to say when we’re ready, but I wanted to tell everyone how much your support has meant to all of us!”
